James with his kites is me with my books. Don't touch it, don't open them too much, don't rip the pages !
James is a Kite Collector. He works for his money then buys them and keep them all pinned to a wall, beautifully arranged and most importantly : safe. That's how he collects them. How he likes to have them.
"When he got home, he added it to his collection.
It was magnificent."
Until his little sister who takes her first steps grabs one with her tiny hands. James doesn't like this. But with talking and acceptance, he works to fine a fitting solution for the both of them : he buys GG a kite ! It's hers and if she wants to make it fly she can.
It's a nice tiny story to read to siblings, to make them understand and learn how to navigate with smaller children who don't understand "no" and "dangerous". Who have another way of playing with the toys or things in their bedroom, or outside... Even it means the toy will get some scrapes and tangling.
